Stormbringer
Description
Elric is the ill-fated albino prince of a fading race who bears the sword Stormbringer in his journeys through the Young Kingdoms of man.This is the last book of the Elric Saga, in which Elric will finally learn his fate. On top of this, he will somehow have to blow the Horn of Fate, three times, so that the rebirth of the World can begin. The Lords of Chaos have other plans, however since they cannot let him destroy the things they have built, the things they own – the things that make them who they are.He may have a host of enemies and they may just be the most dominant force in the multiverse, but Elric has the assistance of The Servants of Fate. That kind of help, no one can ignore.Why it's on the listThe Elric books have everything: an original plot, one of the most fascinating characters in all fiction, disturbing ideas about how much anything really matters, and a rich, dark atmosphere that instantly pulls you in. The Elric saga has become the foundation for more than a few Hollywood fantasy films. This is because Moorcock draws you into a world rich with color and texture. This book has some of his best narratives and they take you on a journey filled with war, love, sorcery, treachery, and the ultimate quest for justice.In Stormbringer, Moorcock brings this epic to a close in a typically and grandly tragic style. The end of the world, triumph through defeat, the systematic isolation of Elric from all he cares about, and Elric's final quest to be forgotten, all come together to make this series go out with a bang that is in keeping with how quickly and strongly it gripped us all in the first book.Read if you likeSword and Sorcery. Magic and good vs evil.
